Everyday Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (120 g) tahini

• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp (3 g) fine salt
• 6 tbsp (90 ml) ice-cold water

Method

1. Whisk the tahini with the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. It will seize into a stiff paste - this always happens.
2. Add the cold water a tablespoon at a time, whisking hard, until it turns pale and smooth.
3. Stop when it pours in a thick ribbon. Taste and adjust the salt.
